Six Word Memoirs on Life Stories

One life. Six words. What’s yours?™

Considered Spanx. No, not naughty enough.

Backstory

Seriously! How do women squeeze into those things?? I'll live with my softening body as is if it means I don't have to walk around like a sausage.

They are so wrong - glad I'm not the only one to shin them:-)

lovelylizard says,

They are murder, I only do it when I have to, the effect is quite smoothing, but pray not to have to go potty once you are encased.

accidentaltourist says,

Will they fit over astronaut diapers, do you think?

a line I will not cross.

MO_Thoughts2 says,

I have one -- it's a full slip. I'll wear again if the need arises. Wore it once a couple months ago to a wedding. Between the slip and illusion dress, I looked amazing !!! :-) It was worth it !

Level1 says,

That's what I tried, the full slip. I bought medium, I figured since I wear size 6 that would be fine. But, no! I couldn't breath! I am considering exchanging it for the large but, then I hardly ever wear dresses, so perhaps I will wait till the need arises rather than just letting it live in my bureau for some future use. It's not like that sausage casing was inexpensive.

MO_Thoughts2 says,

I'm a 6/8 also, so I did the same thing. Don't think they take into consideration bust size :-(

accidentaltourist says,

Size 6? Needing Spanx? Oh please. :)

Level1 says,

AT, just to smooth things out. Not to make me look smaller!

accidentaltourist says,

:) If there's something out there that can make me LOOK like a size 6, I might consider suffering through it.
